TREATING ME WRONG Lyrics

I invested my life, every cent I had
Spent my days and nights with the pen and the pad
While I watched all these other cats treat you bad
Just hoping one day I can bring you back
But you might be lost forever, just a memory
My love and fear turn to a dependency
I wake up with you stuck on the brain
Almost ashamed of myself, I?m in love with your games
But you don?t love me the same, just in love with the fame
Thinking of letting you go ?cause you bring nothing but pain
I got nothing to say but hey, nothing?s forever
Just hoping you sick of feeling under the weather
But I wish I could hear all the ills you have
But there will always be a side of you that?s still a drag
I can?t believe you keep treating me wrong
All the while I?m holding on, still singing you songs

After all these years you still treat me wrong
Why you keep treating me wrong?
After all these years you still treat me wrong
But I keep singing you songs
After all these years you still treat me wrong
Why you keep treating me wrong?
After all these years you still treat me wrong
But I keep singing you songs

I haven?t given up hope but I?ve given up trying
I?ve given up lighting the fire that keeps dying
I?ve given up giving my all to get nothing
You run 100 miles and suddenly quit running
You started giving a fuck what people say
And each year you keep digging a deeper grave
I set my fears well a few too many times
Address how I feel, a few too many rhymes
I promise I?ll never devote another song
?Cause it seems you?re long gone, I?m just hoping I?m wrong
I?m just hoping what we having now grown is yet
But I know I?ll die trying if I hold my breath
Maybe it wasn?t you, maybe I?ve gotten old
But you lost your soul ever since you got the gold
I can?t believe you keep treating me wrong
All the while I?m holding on, still singing you songs

After all these years you still treat me wrong
Why you keep treating me wrong?
After all these years you still treat me wrong
But I keep singing you songs
After all these years you still treat me wrong
Why you keep treating me wrong?
After all these years you still treat me wrong
But I keep singing you songs

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn'tIt was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fightingIn World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26In Vietnam he was 19In-in-in Vietnam he was 19

The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today25 miles west of SaigonI really wasn't sure what was going on

Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combatIn Vietnam were arrested since dischargeTheir arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans of the same ageThere are no accurate figures of how many of these menHave been incarcerated

But a Veterans Administration studyConcludes that the greater of vetsExposure to combat could more likely affect his chancesOf being arrested or convicted

This is one legacy of the Vietnam War

All those who remember the warThey won't forget what they've seenDestruction of men in their primeWhose average was 19

After World War II the men came home together on troop shipsBut the Vietnam vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combatPerhaps the most dramatic difference betweenWorld War II and Vietnam was coming homeNone of them received a hero's welcome

None of them received a heroes welcome, none of them, none of themNe-ne-ne, ne-ne-ne, none of them, none of them, none of themNone of them received a hero's welcomeNone of them received a hero's welcome

According to a Veteran's Administration studyHalf of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from whatPsychiatrists callPost-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder

Many vets complain of alienation, rage or guiltSome succumb to suicidal thoughtsEight to ten years after coming homeAlmost eight hundred thousand men are still fighting the Vietnam War

I've done everything I canAll the people that I see I will never understandIf I find a way to change, if I step into the lightThen I'll never be the same, and it all will fade to whiteEver on and on I continue circlingWith nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony

I've done everything I canAll the people that I see I will never understandIf I find a way to change, if I step into the lightThen I'll never be the same, and it all will fade to whiteEver on and on I continue circlingWith nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony
